Police and others responded to Malletts Bay after an emergency flare went up at around 3:30 p.m. Emergency responders performed CPR on Leggett and transported him to the University of Vermont Medical Center.

Leggett was attending an event at Thayer Beach called Raftapalooza, which amounts to a floating party frowned on by local officials.

Police say there's no indication the weather played a role in Leggett's death.

Organizer Jeremy Dewyea says he plans to host the event again next year but it will likely be at a different location.
